Colloquium: Mark Raizen: " Isotopes for Medicine and New Tests of Quantum Mechanics"

Friday, October 17, 2025 | 4:00 PM - 5:00 PM CT

In this talk, I will report on our progress in meeting three challenges from the past by James Clerk Maxwell, Ernest Rutherford, and Albert Einstein.  The connecting threads are isotopes of the elements, both stable and radioactive.  New methods developed by our group and implemented at the non-profit Pointsman Foundation will make these isotopes readily available for new medical diagnostics and therapies. They will also enable new tests of quantum mechanics that are in progress in my group.
